Not necessarily in that order. Living with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome has made her a believer in the importance of representation in romance. Fairbanks writes stories where realistic characters find love, acceptance, and their happily-ever-afters. She lives in the Tampa Bay area with her husband and son. At any given moment, she is probably trapped under a sleeping tabby cat. ABOUT&nbsp;HEART STRINGS A sizzling exes-to-lovers second- chance romance from the author of&nbsp;Morbidly Yours, the “sweet, spicy, and fabulous” (Abby Jimenez, #1 New York Times bestselling author) TikTok sensation “Poignant, punny, and preciously sweet. Fairbanks effortlessly tells a story of love and loss that makes you believe in the power of second chances.”&nbsp;—Lana Ferguson,&nbsp;USA Today&nbsp;bestselling author of&nbsp;The NannyFrom the author of the TikTok sensation&nbsp;Morbidly Yours&nbsp;comes the swoony second novel in the&nbsp;Love in Galway&nbsp;series:&nbsp;HEART STRINGS&nbsp;by&nbsp;Ivy Fairbanks (On-sale: August 12, 2025).&nbsp;Morbidly Yours&nbsp;was praised as “deliciously” and “satisfyingly” spicy by bestselling authors like Abby Jimenez and Chloe Liese, and HEART STRINGS promises to deliver just as much–if not more– heat. Set against the backdrop of a picturesque Irish castle during a weekend filled with wedding festivities and tantalizing encounters,&nbsp;HEART STRINGS&nbsp;follows the fiery reunion of exes Cielo "Lo" Valdez and Aidan O'Toole. Lo, a resilient cancer survivor and dedicated medical student, lives by the mantra that life’s too short to waste it on someone who’s wronged you. So, when Aidan – a gorgeous, tattooed, mandolin-playing lawyer turned pop star – breaks her heart, she vows to cut him out of her life entirely. Yet Aidan, a hopeless romantic at heart, refuses to let go, dedicating every song he’s ever written to his one true muse: Lo.&nbsp;Now, nearly two years after their devastating break-up, Lo and Aidan are reunited at a friend’s wedding. As they navigate a weekend surrounded by love, the undeniable chemistry and intense passion they once shared—in and out of the bedroom—resurfaces. Will Lo discover that some mistakes are worth forgiving? Can Aidan convince Lo to give up her hard-earned control for one fateful weekend that just might lead to a lifetime? <img src="https://img.evbuc.com/https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.evbuc.com%2Fimages%2F1071948673%2F2312721413293%2F1%2Foriginal.20250712-001658?h=740&amp;w=1200&amp;auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;q=75&amp;sharp=10&amp;s=b93e888a1019a3167ee4e6a98f04fa64"> ABOUT THE CONVERSATION PARTNER BETTY CAYOUETTE is an author, viral video content creator and cinematographer.
